It’s the holiday season, and you know what that means – presents! You want to show
your loved ones you care, but you’re on a tight budget #college. It’s tough to find
gifts that are both meaningful and affordable, but it’s not impossible. Here are ten
thoughtful gifts that won’t break your bank:
1. Fuzzy socks. Everyone loves fuzzy socks. (prices range from $2 to $10 at Target)
2. An Alex & Ani bracelet (available for $28 at various retailers, including Nordstrom
and Bloomingdales)
3. A framed photo of you and your loved one
4. Flash Tattoos. They look cool no matter how you wear them. And they’ll definitely
make for an artsy Insta. (available at Nordstrom)
5. A mug. But not just any mug. You gotta get a mug with a funny slogan on it. Like
this one from Urban Outfitters:
6. A sturdy iPhone case for your clumsier loved ones.
7. An ornament. You can’t go wrong with an ornament.
8. Tea. Yummy, flavored tea.
9. A shot glass. Like the mug, try to get a funny, creative one.
10. Last but not least, a book, CD, or DVD that will show you’ve really been paying
attention to the person’s interests, and that you care about them enough to go out
and find something they’d love!
